RHBA-2018:0172 - Bug Fix Advisory

Synopsis

Type/Severity

Topic

Updated xorg-x11-server packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Description

The xorg-x11-server package provides low-level functions that serve as a basis for the X.Org implementation of the X Window System graphical user interfaces, such as GNOME and KDE.

This update fixes the following bug:

Previously, after applying the 0001-composite-Implement-backing-store-Always.patch patch to the xorg-x11-server package in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the ABI video driver did not work properly. In this release, the paintable field was moved to the end of the WindowRec structure. As a result, the ABI video driver works properly even after the 0001-composite-Implement-backing-store-Always.patch patch is applied. (BZ#1512804)

Users of xorg-x11-server are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released erratarelevant to your system have been applied.
